22% of Americans "extremely confident" gas will soon be too expensive to drive normally
With the price of a gallon of gasoline steadily rising, many U.S. motorists now say that steep payouts at the pump will soon limit their ability to drive as they please.
According to a survey conducted by HNTB Corporation, 63 percent of U.S. motorists believe that gas will be so costly that their time spent behind the wheel will sharply decline.
In fact, 22 percent of the respondents are "extremely confident" that gas will soon be too expensive to continue drive normally.
On average, gas at $4.90 per gallon would push most of those surveyed to turn to public transit. Even though soaring gas prices were cited as the primary reason (42 percent) Americans with adequate public transportation in their area would hitch a ride rather than drive, 14 percent say that convenience factors in too. As for saving the environment, only six percent of surveyed drivers say that it will play a role in deciding whether or not to give public transportation a go.
